The House with Good Bones Audiobook by @tkingfisher.com feels like what I would imagine it would be like if @thebloggess.bsky.social were to narrate a horror novel. The accent, the unflinching wit, the slow descent into societal horror. It's all there. #horrorbooks #horrorwriters

It's been a really exhausting day (and week!) of house-moving prep, but at least today's Snag tights are cheering me up. :) Here's to bright colors in the grey months!

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

There are SO many, so I'm choosing a recent read that resonated strongly with me. This book illustrated women's frustration, power, and the conflict of coming into your full power vs maintaining relationships by maintaining the status quo.

One of the things conservatives believe is all sense of self must be destroyed, that you exist as a machine for the church or the state or whoever they follow.

That’s one of the reasons they hate protests no matter what the topic is; it’s speaking up, expressing the self. They become ENRAGED by it

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

"Why do you just attack democrats? Why don't you ever go after republicans?"

Same reason I think it's necessary to warn people off an inexplicably popular restaurant that keeps giving everyone food poisoning but don't see the need to warn people off of eating directly out of an open sewer.
